Chapter 108 Gambling Agreement
Ji Zhixian is worthy of being the head of Lingbao Taoist Temple in Laolu Temple!
This move resulted in six plans, which was extremely efficient.
Gu Yunli took the jade scepter and examined it one by one.
Ji Zhixian also made introductions at the appropriate time.
These six jade scepters are essentially two plans, with three designs of upper, middle and lower according to different cost-effectiveness.
Because it is cheap and the materials used are simple, after being used thousands of times, the curse will collapse due to the repeated erosion of magic power.
The cost and difficulty of refining a guijian that can be reused tens of thousands of times are several times higher.
How to make a choice depends entirely on Party A's consideration.
"Thank you for your trouble, fellow Taoist. Please accept this small token of my appreciation."
After Gu Yunli finished the inspection, he presented a jade box with great satisfaction.
Ji Zhixian declined it modestly and then accepted it calmly.
I thought, if it weren’t for Gu Zhenzai’s special status, it would be a great thing if I could really be accepted as a disciple.
"Excuse me for asking, I wonder if Lingbao Taoist Temple can undertake the refining of the Guijian? If we refine these Guijian, how much will it cost?" Gu Yunli asked again.
"How much do you want to refine, fellow Daoist?"
"Of course, the more the better, there is no upper limit."
Ji Zhixian was shocked when he heard this, and said solemnly: "If you want to become a qualified weapon refiner, you have to study hard and practice diligently. Studying hard is easy to solve, but practicing hard is difficult. If you don't care about the upper limit, Lingbao Daoyuan will naturally welcome you. As for the price, just give the cost price, just treat it as a training for your disciples. However, I have to remind you that there are people who do business that will cost you money, but no one does business that will lose money. Even if you are rich enough to rival a country, I am afraid it will be difficult to plug this bottomless abyss."
Gu Yunli smiled and said, "When have you ever seen me do a business that loses money?"
Ji Zhixian was stunned. He thought carefully about Gu Zhenzai's history of making a fortune and it seemed that he had never made a losing business.
To a certain extent, those sections opened up for various immortals and gods have also attracted a large number of users to the Internet.
"Since you are so confident, how can Lingbao Daoyuan not help you? Lingbao Daoyuan will accept the task of refining this jade tablet."
“I wonder what the monthly production capacity is?”
"There are twenty-seven people in Lingbao Daoyuan who comprehend the Dao, and they can refine middle and lower grade Guijian, 810 pieces per month. There are three people who are nurturing Dao embryos, and they can refine high grade Guijian, 90 pieces per month."
"Then how much production do other temples have?"
Gu Yunli asked casually.
"Looking at Shuntian Prefecture, my Lingbao Daoyuan dare not boast of being the first, but it is also among the best. The output of other weapon refining sects is only less than that of my Lingbao Daoyuan, not much more."
Gu Yunli nodded and smiled, "I want to order these jade tablets from all the weapon-making sects in the Southern Continent. Can you help me purchase them?"
Ji Zhixian was startled: "Is it inconvenient for you to show up?"
Gu Yunli said, "I'll just say some things directly. I bet that the price of this item will definitely increase within three months. This item was conceived by me and completed by you, so why not take the opportunity to make a fortune?"
Ji Zhixian's pupils dilated and he looked at Gu Yunli in surprise.
Gu Yunli was clear about the purpose of refining this item. This kind of jade tablet that has the ability to remember everything at a glance is like a waste for a cultivator who is already knowledgeable and has a good memory.
As for mortals, they do need it, but how many can afford it?
Therefore, he was certain that it would be difficult for Gu Yunli to continue this loss-making business.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhenzai actually thought that the price of this item would increase?
It’s incredible!
Even if it is a method of cultivation in seal carving, it is useless if ordinary people cannot afford it? !
The major sects wouldn't buy this item at their own expense and give it to mortals, right?
"Fellow Daoist, are you proficient in divination?"
"Hahaha, if I were proficient in this technique, I would have come to find fellow Taoists to learn from me right away. Why would I run into obstacles everywhere?"
"Then how can you be so sure that the price of this item will increase?"
"The secret must not be revealed!"
Gu Yunli thought about it and said slightly:
"If I were to come forward on this matter, it would be very likely that some people would see through it. Although it would not affect the overall situation, it would ultimately affect our ability to make money, right? As long as you come forward on my behalf, after the matter is completed, you will get 10% of the profits."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhixian's face suddenly showed a bit of confusion.
Gu Yunli struck while the iron was hot and said:
"In fact, what I want is not incense, but Taizhen Heavenly Incense. So when you purchase it, you must add a penalty for breach of contract. Anyone who breaks the contract must pay a thousand sticks of Taizhen Heavenly Incense. I think most weapon refiners will choose to break the contract afterwards."
"If I'm not mistaken, you are only one step away from the realm of celestial immortals, right? If you have enough Taizhen Tianxiang to help you, it shouldn't be difficult to break through."
Ji Zhixian, who was originally very conflicted, suddenly relaxed.
It is said that the reason why he accepted Gu Yunli's 200,000 incense sticks as a gift was precisely because he was not far from the realm of celestial immortal.
Massive resources are urgently needed.
If he could still obtain the Taizhen Tianxiang, his chances of breaking through would greatly increase. "Is this thing not harmful to the heavens?"
In confusion, Ji Zhixian couldn't help but ask again.
"If I do anything that harms the will of heaven, the Immortal Court will be the first to take action." Gu Yunli said with a gloomy look.
Thinking of a certain rumor about Ji Zhixian, he was suddenly speechless.
That’s right, now everyone in the world knows that Gu Zhenzai is rich enough to rival a country.
If he had not early on become a disciple of Emperor Qingxu, handed over 70% of the incense offerings, and sold the remaining 30% in the name of shares, he would have long ago attracted attacks from many heroes.
However, even so, there were still many people staring at him.
If he really gave others an excuse, the consequences would be unpredictable.
"My friend, now that you have said this, how can I refuse?"
Ji Zhixian finally made up his mind and nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, the two secretly discussed the purchase details.
Since his own interests were involved, Ji Zhixian did not dare to be careless and suggested that he find a close friend to act on his behalf to prevent his relationship with Gu Yunli as both a teacher and a friend from attracting attention.
Gu Yunli had no reason to object to this and readily agreed.
At the end of the discussion, Ji Zhixian suddenly asked, "After talking for so long, I still don't know how you plan to name these jade tablets?"
Gu Yunli hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's call it the Enlightenment Jade Slip!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhixian immediately flattered him: "Easy to understand, easy to remember, what a good name!"
Gu Yunli laughed and accepted it calmly.
After the two of them finalized the details, they went their separate ways.
Of course, it was mainly Ji Zhixian who went to do the work.
——Time is pressing now. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, he must race against time and get orders from major weapon-refining sects as soon as possible.
……
Gu Yunli returned to his private room and took out a blank jade tablet to try to refine it.
Among them, the lower-grade enlightenment jade slip is relatively simple to refine.
However, perhaps because it was his first time refining the essence, Gu Yunli still failed several times before he succeeded in refining it.
Even so, the scrap rate remained high afterwards!
Gu Yunli remained calm about this. When it comes to refining equipment, how can there be fine products without waste products?
Most importantly, his proficiency in the three weapon-refining techniques once again increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
I believe that it won’t be long before his scrap rate will drop.
However, when he began to try to refine the mid-grade enlightenment jade slip, he was dumbfounded.
Although the scrap rate of the inferior enlightenment jade slip was high, at least he was able to successfully refine it.
The scrap rate of mid-quality jade slips is almost 100%.
He refined more than a dozen in one breath, but none of them was successful, which made him very depressed.
However, at the same time, he was also surprised to find that the proficiency brought by refining the middle-grade enlightenment jade slips was much higher than that of the low-grade jade slips.
Just like spawning monsters, although the BOSS is difficult to defeat, the experience it brings is extremely high.
In comparison, Gu Yunli found that he could gain more experience from refining the mid-grade jade slips.
The downside, however, was that he had to endure an outrageously high scrap rate.
"Forget it, let's refine the low-grade jade slips first, and when my proficiency is up and the scrap rate is not too bad, I can refine the medium-grade jade slips."
Gu Yunli thought about it and still felt reluctant to waste materials.
This is not the way to spend money!
"Dong dong dong..."
Just as Gu Yunli was immersed in refining the weapon, there was a knock on the door.
